Chapter 1069: 652, Brother’s Letter
Day three of the return.
Huan Yu woke up from bed, frowning slightly as the dorm was empty and it was just him, with no sign of where Zard had gone.
He reached beneath his pillow, where traditionally, there would be a letter from his younger brother.
In the letter:
“Brother, you’ve helped me accumulate a lot of points! Now, when I walk down the academy road, people greet me as an expert. I’m so happy.”
“They ask me to play basketball and even invite me to drink, but I remember you said not to drink, so I didn’t go. I’m obedient, right?”
“Oh, by the way, I see you haven’t spent any points at all, which makes me feel guilty. I’ve saved up another sixty points over the past two days, all for you to use on drinking. You must spend them all before I wake up next time!”
Reading this, Huan Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly at the corners of his lips.
He hadn’t been willing to drink in the Outer World, and after returning to the Inner World, he had to rush to save Zard, so he didn’t dare drink then either.
Now… maybe he could have a drink?
But he shouldn’t use all 60 points just on drinking; what if the kid feels distressed?
He continued to read further down.
“Brother, I recently made a lot of new friends. Those older brothers and sisters are all very nice, and they treat me well too. They bring me lots of delicious food.”
“Don’t worry, brother. You always wanted me to make some friends, and now I have them!”
“Also, I folded lots of Yu Yan for you again!”
The letter ended here.
Huan Yu sat on the bed, and his originally hardened heart suddenly softened for unknown reasons.
After the two souls combined, they had experienced many conflicts, fighting for control of the body, the elder Huan Yu using a commanding tone to write letters that made the young Huan Yu cry, among many other things.
Yet somehow, things changed at some point.
Perhaps the younger brother truly saw him as his big brother.
Huan Yu got up to wash up. He felt very good today. His brother having new friends was a good start.
While brushing his teeth, Huan Yu suddenly felt as if the power within his body had increased a bit?
The change was very slight, hardly noticeable to an A-Class expert, just like a drop in the ocean.
But for someone like Huan Yu, even a little change made a difference.
He kept clenching and unclenching his fist; the power in his body was indeed enhanced.
What’s going on?
Huan Yu felt puzzled. Could it be that more harmonious souls allowed him to better control his body?
He couldn’t be sure.
He decided to observe for a while.
Huan Yu called Zard.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.”
Huan Yu’s expression turned grim.
The good mood from his brother making new friends vanished!
…
…
Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi, while munching on buns, walked toward the academy.
On the way, they heard someone say, “Did you see the announcement on the academy forum app? Damn, people were saying they’d introduce auxiliary cultivation items, and everyone thought it was just a rumor. But it’s true!”
“The announcement made at two in the morning? I was asleep then, only saw it this morning.”
“The points needed for exchange are quite high, though.”
“High? You didn’t see it can be exchanged with team points? Now it depends on which club is strong; strong clubs can buy stuff for their members, while weaker ones get phased out. The good members stay in strong clubs, while the mediocre ones are cleared out.”
Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi exchanged glances; they had gone back to the dorm, showered, and slept last night without seeing any announcements.
In the past few days since they returned, they were busy picking fruits, farming, picking fresh shoots, making tea, and organizing everything.
This was much more tiring than going to school, and they used Chicken Blood Sprout on their blisters to continue working.
With such a life, they hardly had time to pay attention to the outside world.
The two of them opened the academy forum app.
The announcement prominently displayed three items without pictures, only text descriptions:
Exchangeable Item 1: Auxiliary cultivation item that can triple cultivation speed within seven days, with no side effects. After exchange, you can get a seven-day unconditional leave, and the academy will provide a separate training room. Individual exchange requires 2000 points; team exchange requires 3000 points, with no limitation on usage.
Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi were disheartened on seeing the points. They hadn’t even joined a club, so how would they get that many points?
Currently, a student earns around 210-300 points weekly, needing several dozen days to exchange for this item.
The quickest way is for a club to collectively support a top expert.
If a gifted student gets Zhi Lanxing, they could immediately become the backbone of the club, earning even more points in competitions.
Exchangeable Item 2: Vision improvement item that reduces nearsightedness by about 100 degrees per use, without side effects. Individual exchange requires 100 points; group exchange requires 150 points, limited to 15 uses. Upon exchange, the academy advisor will provide usage guidance.
Sun Chu Ci was shocked upon seeing this; the academy sure knew how to attract people.
Half the students at Time Traveler’s Academy are nearsighted, and it was clear that Kunlun used this as an advertising slogan to attract people to exchange.
Outside, surgery to treat nearsightedness can cost tens of thousands for a good procedure and often has side effects like sore eyes and tearing up in the wind.
